God's Tranquil Garden
by Inspiration
God looked around his Garden,
Which was a beautiful sight.
He knew there would be others,
Who could come to him tonight.
He tended to his Garden daily,
To make it a beautiful view.
Because he knew that others,
Would help him to tend it too.
He prepared for new arrivals,
Morning, noon and even night.
Because he wanted Heaven to be,
A place that was just right.
There was precious rosebuds,
Who didn't bloom on earth.
And God had their presence,
Right from their very birth.
There was Mothers and Fathers,
Who had gently gone to sleep.
He wrapped himself around them,
And in Heaven he did safely keep.
Also GrandMothers, GrandFathers,
Whom the Angels did hold.
Keeping them so warm at night,
If they should feel the cold.
There was also Aunts and Uncles,
Maybe a nephew and little niece.
But you can be rest assured,
They are all very much at peace.
If you have lost a dear loved one,
Their presence is still all around.
You might not be able to hear them,
But if you look they can be found.
Fingerprints and lots of memories,
Pictures of them that's in your mind,
And when you're really missing them,
All these things that you can find.
Their handwriting that's on a card,
And maybe a special autograph.
And there again, within your mind,
Is cherished memories of their laugh.
Maybe they also had a creative hand,
And left behind for you so much.
And when your feeling sad and down,
Remember to treasure that touch.
Go into your mind in times of sadness,
And remember what they didn't take above.
Can you think of just one thing now ...?
Well, they didn't take with them their love.
I know nothing really comforts us when,
A cherished loved one has gone,
Never forget that in your heart and mind,
They stay, and will always linger on.
with hugs for you..
